France

A video claiming to show recent riots in Paris has gained traction online, but it actually depicts unrest from December 2022. French officials have confirmed its misrepresentation, relating it to protests following a racially motivated shooting in the city, with significant misinformation circulating on social media.

Five people were killed in a series of shootings in northern France, including near a migrant camp in Loon-Plage, close to Dunkirk. A 22-year-old man has surrendered to police and confessed to the attacks, according to French media.
